Using ASP.Net is it possible to rewrite to a different domain using HttpContext.Current.RewritePath? Eg.
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath("http://www.otherdomain.com");
When I try this I get the following exception:
'http://www.otherdomain.com' is not a valid virtual path
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath is rewriting of the url on the server side.
It means that if you request the url /products you can tell to asp.net to rednder /Products.aspx by using:
if( HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl == "/products")
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath("/Products.aspx");
if you want to send the user to another domain you need to do:
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("http://www.otherdomain.com/page");

I am currently working on a DotNetNuke website (07.03.02) and I am trying to migrate it to Azure. The website is working on my local machine with IIS.
I followed this tutorial to migrate the website : http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-blog/cid/154975/moving-a-dnn-install-to-microsoft-azure-websites
So I created a new web application on Azure that will host the website files. I also created a new database on Azure, and I imported my DNN backup database.
I changed the connection strings in my web.config to use my Azure database, I uploaded the website folder on Azure.
Now if I try to browse my webapp using the link [sitename].azurewebsites.net, I get the following error :
DNN Error Domain Name Does Not Exist In The Database
DotNetNuke supports multiple websites from a single database/codebase.
It accomplishes this by converting the URL of the client browser
Request to a valid PortalID in the Portals database table. The
following steps describe the process:
Web Server Processing When a web server receives a Request from a
client browser, it compares the file name extension on the target URL
resource to its Application Extension Mappings defined in IIS. Based
on the corresponding match, IIS then sends the Request to the defined
Executable Path ( aspnet_asapi.dll in the case of ASP.NET Requests ).
The aspnet_isapi.dll engine processes the Request in an ordered series
of events beginning with Application_BeginRequest.
HttpModule.URLRewrite OnBeginRequest ( UrlRewriteModule.vb ) The
Request URL is parsed based on the "/" character A Domain Name is
constructed using each of the relevant parsed URL segments.
Examples:
URL: http://www.exemple.com/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.exemple.com
URL: http://209.75.24.131/default.aspx = Domain Name: 209.75.24.131
URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx = Domain Name:
localhost/DotNetNuke URL:
http://www.exemple.com/virtualdirectory/default.aspx = Domain Name:
www.exemple.com/virtualdirectory URL:
http://www.exemple.com/directory/default.aspx = Domain Name:
www.exemple.com/directory
Using the Domain Name, the application queries the database ( Portals
table - PortalAlias field ) to locate a matching record.
Note: If there are multiple URLs which correspond to the same website
then the website alias field must contain each valid Domain Name in a
comma separated list.
Example:
URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx URL:
http://MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke/default.aspx URL:
http://209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke/default.aspx PortalAlias:
localhost/DotNetNuke,MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke,209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke
Note: If you are installing the application to a remote server you
must modify the PortalAlias field value for the default record in the
Portals table according to the rules defined above.
So I inserted the Site Alias ([sitename].azurewebsites.net) record into the PortalAlias table as mentioned in the turorial.
Now when I try to reach the website [sitename].azurewebsites.net, I don't have the previous DNN error but it loads for a long time and then I got the following error :
www.[sitename].azurewebsites.net’s server DNS address could not be
found. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
After the load end, the URL curiously become https://www.[sitename].azurewebsites.net and the DNS error occur.
Is there something I need to change in Azure or in my web.config file ? Maybe there is something to configure in DotNetNuke or in the ASP version?
I don't get why my browser change the url and why this dns error occur (I have no issues with my local IIS server).
(I also tried by using the automatic portal alias transfer as mentioned in the tutorial but I got the same result : the alias is inserted in the database but I still have the NXdomain error)
Thank you for your help !
Etienne.
In your original post you have:
www.[sitename].azurewebsites.net’s server DNS address could not be found. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Try to manually put the . (The full, http with colons, etc.) Sometimes the web browser will add the WWW automatically, thinking you wanted it (I hate when they do that). Azure doesn't know about the www subdomain, so that is why you are probably getting that error.
Edit: Oh, and the long load time is good - it means that azure compiled your site and you didn't get a compile error.
The fact that you get an error that comes from DNN is good news, and means that you have (probably) done the major work correctly.
Now, you need to get into your database and modify the PortalAlias table so that there is an alias for sitename.azurewebsites.net. (I'm assuming that the brackets around sitename are incorrect and "[sitename]" eeds to be replaced by the actual domain name for your site.)
I have installed and configured the WHMCS in my wordpress site.I want to transfer a domain using the api functionality "domaintransfer" as action name.But the response from the api always return "Domain not found" error.
I am passing the following parameters
action : domaintransfer
domain : domain name entered(like xxx.com)
You use domaintransfer API function if the domain already in the database, but if you're transferring a domain from another company to yours you should use addorder and set domaintype parameter to transfer.
i 've tried using
string path= "\\abc\wof\TY044-12";
bool exist=System.IO.Directory.Exists(path);
but 'bool' return true on localhost but return false on server side.
Also, i've searched some answers, but it is difficult reconfigure permission of IIS.
can i use FileWebrequest/httpWebRequest command? not understand about this
FileWebRequest request = (FileWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create("\\abc\wof\TY044-12");
FileWebResponse response = (FileWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Ihope someone can help me. THANKS!!!
That looks more like a UNC.
To me it seems the appool account on iis which is hosting your application doesn't have permissions to access that UNC folder. Please refer link below to set it:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771170(v=ws.10).aspx
The link below says you can access files over the network using pre-registered reserved types like http, https, file, etc.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bw00b1dc(v=vs.110).aspx
...And if you pass unc paths to the Uri class during construction, you can get the required uri scheme:
var uri = new Uri(#"\\abc\folder\file.jpg");
Console.WriteLine(uri.ToString()); //outputs - file://abc/folder/file.jpg
However the recommended approach is using classes in the System.IO namespace like you originally started out with.
I am trying to send activation mail to the currently registered user.In mail body,I need to send a link like http://example.com/account/activation?username=d&email=g.Now, for debugging on local machine, I manually write it as localhost:30995/account/activation?username=d&email=g. But, when my port number changes, I need to rewrite it.
I tried another question
on this website,but, compiler gives error like url.action doesnot exist.
Please give me fresh solution as I am confused with that solution.
Use a Url.Action overload that takes a protocol parameter to generate your URLs:
Url.Action("Activation", "Account", new { username = "d", email = "g" }, "http")
This generates an absolute URL rather than a relative one. The protocol can be either "http" or "https". So this will return http://localhost:XXXXX/account/activation?username=d&email=g on your local machine, and http://example.com/account/activation?username=d&email=g on production.
In short, this will stick whatever domain you're hosting your app on in front of your URL; you can then change your hostname/port number/domain name as many times as you want. Your links will always point to the host they originated from. That should solve the problem you're facing.
Try using IIS / IIS-Express instead of Casinni web server that comes with visual studio.
You could add bindings to have the right URL (with host entries of course).
This will avoid the port numbers in your links.
I am new to asp.net and c#. I have set a query string to pass the value to one page to another along with the url path. But once go to this page I will not be able to redirect to any other page.
Here is my code:
Uri url = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url;
string urlString = "http://" + url.Authority + "/Projects/SearchResult.aspx/?Keywords=" + TxtSearch.Text;
Response.Redirect(urlString);
Here is the error:
The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you
are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed,
had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review
the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Projects/Description.aspx/NewPost.aspx
The error is simply indicating the your URL in wrong - the reported url /Projects/Description.aspx/NewPost.aspx anyway appears to be wrong - it should be either /Projects/Description.aspx or /Projects/NewPost.aspx.
As your code is redirecting to completely different page (/Projects/SearchResult.aspx), you should check that page code for above redirect/transfer.
On side note, there are couple of issues in ho you are forming the url:
Query-string is not passed correctly - you have used trailing slash before question-mark i.e. /?Keywords - you should be using /Projects/SearchResult.aspx?Keywords=
Typically, for passing to url within application, you should use ~ as application root - that way, you don't have to worry about host name & root virtual directory (if any). For example, you can write
Response.Redirect("~/Projects/SearchResult.aspx?Keywords=" + TxtSearch.Text);
